Peru 2014 – Horseback riding to Machu Picchu

This was one physically demanding week. Riding up and down steep mountain passes with shear drop offs topping out at 4630m on horses that don’t always obey made for a tough work out! Thankfully the lodges each night had hot tubs with the worlds best view! In addition to the horseback ridding for 5 days and spectacular visit to Machu Picchu at the end we also did zip lining between mountains (two videos to experience here & here) and I did one exceptionally grueling hike that ended with a 1300m straight down in 1 hour finish. Checkout the overview video on the first great morning at the site.
